The Next Fourty Days ~

The beauty of giving up smoking for lent is if you succeed you will gain a great sense of accomplishment and feeling of being able to endure the toughest of circumstances.

Lent is a time for prayerful sacrifice ... as for me it was hard to concentrate on prayer when all I really wanted was a smoke, but as each day passed the torture got a little easier to endure.

The worst part about having giving up smoking so many times during Lent was the going back to smoking sometime after Easter ... I know, you're asking yourself; "Does that even make sense?"
Answer being; "NO" ... But it happened more than once.

This time the habit is kicked for good though (at least I'm pretty confident). Lent is still Lent, a time of sacrifice and prayer ... but this time the sacrifices are not nearly as insufferable.

Good Luck if a smokeless Lent is your resolution.
